Golden State Stars (Softball): COACH STAN HUNT'S BIO

I started playing men's fast pitch softball at the young age of 16 years old.  Originally recruited as a catcher and center fielder I gravitated to pitching.  I played baseball from age of 6 years old to 18 years old.  My senior year of playing baseball was drafted by New York Yankees.  Spent one year in the rookie league and decided to join the U. S. Navy.

I played from 1969 to 1985 in the men's major level reaching both ISC Worlds and ASA Nationals 17 times.  From 1975 thru 1995 I pitched internationally while in the U. S. Navy and locally in league play.  Due to a vary bad arm injury from me blocking the plate on a wild pitch my pitching career was terminated in August 1995.

In the 26 years I pitched I won approximately 900 games, lost 450.  I threw 3 perfect games, 10 no hitters and had 30 shut outs.

Started coaching youth ball in 1975 through 2002.  The 27 years of coaching at the youth level went to ASA nationals 20 times.  Triple Crown 2 times and USSSA 1 time.  Many of the players coached reached the college level and graduated from college.

High school coach for 2 schools reaching CIF play offs every year coached.  Assistant/pitching coach at University California San Diego from 2002 to 2008.  While coaching there went to back to back regionals for the years 2007 and 2008.  Volunteer pitching coach for San Diego City Community College.

As a private pitching coach since 1975 I have had the privilege of coaching numerous students who achieved or won many titles and have gone on to college utilizing their pitching skills obtained under my guidance.
